From the Back Cover

The purpose of this book and its companions, AutoCAD® 2002: A Building Approach, Book 1: Learning the Basics and AutoCAD® 2002: A Building Approach, Book 2: Taking Command, is to teach the fundamentals of AutoCAD® 2002 so you can easily make simple, professional engineering drawings. This book uses the following features to help you build the basic foundation needed to become a successful CAD operator:

• Provides a true step-by-step approach that guides you through the learning process in a friendly and effective way
• Teaches you one efficient method, instead of overwhelming you with multiple ways to do the same thing, so you can quickly become a productive CAD operator
• Takes you' from opening the AutoCAD® program for the first time to creating your own personal AutoCAD® template and using it to generate professional engineering drawings
• Teaches you to use the basic drawing, editing, and text tools in an integrated approach that combines learning-related operations and commands together to make them easier to remember
• Uses practical, real-world assignments in which you apply the concepts you learned to projects that new CAD operators could expect to see in their jobs
